How can number lines help tell time?
If we unroll a clock, it becomes a number line! We can set up a number line to represent minutes in an hour. We can use a number line to visually represent the passage of time. For example, we might draw a number line with the numbers to represent the minutes in an hour. We could use this to help us understand how many minutes have passed, or how many minutes are left in the hour.

- how much is a penny 1$ or 1(1 vote)
- If you are asking how much pennies in 1 dollar, I can answer that. There is 100 pennies in 1 dollar. 1 penny is also known as 1 cent. So, when someone says I have 100 pennies, they can also be interpreted as 1 dollar. 150 pennies/cents, can be interpreted as 1 dollar and 50 pennies/cents. Hope it helps!
